Yesterday I watched the movie Australia, a mix of drama/comedy/adventure/romance set on the brink of World War II, with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman in the lead roles. The movie, released in 2008 and directed by Baz Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge and Romeo + Juliet), tells the story of Lady Sarah Ashley, an English aristocrat having to drive a herd of cattle across hundreds of miles in this beautiful yet unforgiving country.

Now, my impressions. It was super worth it, with hints of comedy that didn't allow the movie to be sad because of the war and losses ocurred. Good acting, including the kid who plays the aboriginal Nullan (Brandon Walters), and also drama in the right dose! Well, to be honest, with all the beautiful scenery and Hugh Jackman's sculptural body, I don't need much more to like the movie! lol! I super recommend it!

To change the traditional French manicure a little bit, I decided to paint the tips of the nail black and the rest with a transparent base coat. Since this was only a test, it is worth mentioning that the contours aren't exactly precise and it is a bit irregular! Although some people might think it looks like a dirty nail, I think it looks very classy and also great for people who want a "lighter" style (without having to paint the whole nail with a dark colour) for colder days, like in the winter. Any black nail polish works fine. The one I used was from Icing, colour black, with a thin brush. Just explore your imagination and use the colours you have at home!

Cougar town! Take a look at my nails! The good thing about it is that we can have a lot of variations over the same theme. For example, you can do a zebra French mani, you can use other colours (not only white) as base, etc, etc. If you're not very fond of extravagance, zebra is not recommended! lol

Hi, people!!! I decided to create a blog to be closer to you and also to show that it is not only Z-list celebrities who can be relevant!!! hahahaha Joking, joking! Since this is the first post, I thought I would show you the new technique I learned to paint nails, it's called Marble Nail Art. I used 3 Colorama nail polishes: Coral as base, Framboesa and Noite de Gala for the mixed colours. You can use any colour of your preference. Hope you like it! Kisses!
